Reply to comment by arglarg in Jeff Bezos used metaphors, an ancient communication tool, to explain complex ideas. by iLiveOnWeetbix711

We can't even be certain that we've found all the planets in our solar system. For all we know there may have been aliens hanging out in our solar system for the last 100 years.
